Biomass gasification fundamentals to support the development of BTL in forest industry (NORD-SYNGAS)

The European market pull for renewable transportation fuels is huge. If 5 % of the transportation fuels would be produced via thermal gasification route in 2030 this would mean roughly 150 gasification plants of 300 MW feed corresponding to annual turnover of 15 billion euros and to equipment sales of the order of 50 billion euro in 2015 - 2030.
The Nordic pulp and paper mills are offering excellent sites for the early demonstration of this technology before expanding to other countries and other types of integration possibilities.

Ash transformation processes in fluidized bed

Combustion and gasification of phosphorus rich biomass fuels
As the competition for raw material for heat, power and biofuel production is expected to increase, it is most likely that new types of agricultural fuels and sludge will be introduced in the market. In addition to the traditionally studied major ash forming elements in biomass (K, Ca, Mg, Si, Cl and S), many of these new fuels contain significant amounts of P.
